Wooldridge Elementary is in the Austin ISD and earned a 2/10 rating from Great School’s as of November 2026. The permanent campus is at 1412 Norseman Terrace in North Austin’s 78758 zip code and is being modernized, so for 2026-27 classes meet in the former Barrington Elementary building at 400 Cooper Dr. (78753). Wooldridge serves Pre-K 3 through 5th grade. It is a receiving campus this year: Austin ISD closed Barrington and assigned part of its zone to Wooldridge, and Wooldridge itself is in a district-managed restart under a state-mandated turnaround plan. Most of the zone feeds Burnet Middle School, the area added from Barrington feeds Webb Middle School, and the whole zone feeds Navarro Early College High School.

Closing the Gaps, which measures results for student groups, rose from a D (62) to a B (83). The campus earned no distinction designations from 2021-22 through 2025-26.
TEA has identified Wooldridge for improvement support every year since 2021-22, including comprehensive support and improvement in 2022-23 and targeted support and improvement in 2025-26.

Wooldridge Elementary Attendance Zone Map
Wooldridge’s zone covers North Austin neighborhoods in 78758 around Quail Creek, including Quail Creek, Quail Creek West, Wooten Village, Colony North, Jamestown, Fiskville School Addition and Country Air. For 2026-27 it also takes in part of the former Barrington Elementary zone, the area south of Little Walnut Creek in Austin ISD’s planning documents.

Note that the school’s location for 2026-27, the former Barrington building on Cooper Dr., is not the same as the permanent campus on Norseman Terrace. Austin ISD plans Phase 1 boundary changes for 2027-28, with a board vote expected in fall 2026, and a district-wide boundary and feeder realignment for fall 2028, so confirm any address with Austin ISD’s school finder before buying.
